Hasty Delete

Today in my email I recieved a virus warning and mind you, I ALWAYS check these out with Semantec. Well this time I didn't and deleted the following: jdbgmgr.exe. So after I deleted said file, I checked with Semantec and found that it was a hoax. My question is, how do I replace this and where do I put it on my C drive? Thank you all for any attention I may recieve. Jonmar

Hey, Jonmar... I know many people who have been in this situation, so don't fret...

First, I'm guessing you already dumped the recycle bin? If so, still no need to worry.

Microsoft has been notified of this issue & has already posted their response regarding this virus myth: "If a user has Visual J++ 1.x installed but JDBGMGR.EXE is missing, the net result would be that some Java programs wouldn't run. In all other cases, there would be no effect from deleting the file."

If you still feel uneasy & want to undo whats been done, search your HD for KRNL386.EXE... this is the directory where you will need to extract JDBGMGR.EXE to... and you can find JDBGMGR.EXE on your windows98 CD inside Win98_41.cab (inside Win98_45.cab on win98se)

Do a search on your machine for *.cab files. Some of these OEM setups will place the cab files on the harddisk. Also one of the follosing may help you retreive the file and some of these are free or will let you retrieve one file before requiring you to purchase them.

Lost and Found
Lost and Found recovers data from drives that have been formatted, lost partitions through accidental deletion, etc. This applies to FAT or FAT32 partitions only. If the disk is still capable of spinning, there is a chance of recovery.
Lost and Found only performs read operations on the affected hard disk. Many utilities attempt to repair the hard disk and corrupt data in the process. Since Lost and Found only performs read operations, it does not risk the integrity of the data on the disk.http://www.powerquest.com/support/primus/id160.html
